## Abstract This paper presents a generalized method which generates linear, triangular, quadrilateral and pentahedral elements for the finite element method. Depending on geometrical and material variations, the region to be discretized is manually divided into blocks such as lines, triangles, qua

Perfectly matched layer PML absorbers deteriorate the condition of the resulting finite-element sparse systems. Therefore, poor con¨ergence scenarios are obser¨ed when an iterati¨e sol¨er is employed. In this work, we show that, by choosing the PML parameters in an optimal manner, substantial speedu
We consider methods for adaptive updating of computational meshes during incremental loading of non-linear shell and solid structures. In particular, we focus on updating methods where the initial topology of the mesh is maintained. The movement of the mesh (the convective step) is decoupled from th
An improved looping method for quadrilateral finite element generation, effective especially for automatic metal forming simulation, was presented in this paper. A new splitting criterion to improve the conventional looping method, an artificial boundary scheme to reduce mesh transition regions and
